书籍介绍
社会学是一门包罗万象的科学,它不但涵盖性别、种族、阶层、年龄等议题,更是许多生活化知识的融汇,是集合人类、环境、政策、时代等生活中所有方面的学问。社会学家试图解释,是什么因素使得工作机会从美国转移到中国,女性在公共场所具有什么样的地位,以及计算机与网络技术的普及对社会有怎样的影响等关系到您日常生活中方方面面的问题。正如谢弗教授所建议的,要将你看到的材料与你的生活和经历联系起来。 本书简洁清晰地定义与分析了社会学基本概念和研究方法,注重功能理论、冲突理论和互动理论的平衡阐释,强调社会学家检验与质疑人们日常生活行为的独特方法,教导读者如何运用社会学的想象力来探讨自己生活情境中的社会议题。在全球化的视野下使用跨文化的实例说明性别、年龄、种族、族群和阶级等社会区隔及其影响,并提供最近几年来社会学重要议题的最新研究成果。
